The ancient Egyptians excelled in
various forms of arts, which include pottery-making, paintings, and sculptures. Egyptian
artists typically had no restrictions on where they created these forms of art.
As a result researchers have discovered various ancient paintings on temple
walls, pyramids, tombs, scrolls, and pottery. These forms of art gave great
insight into the culture of this society. The paintings depict stories of their
vibrant culture and life. Through these works of art ancient Egyptian dress, cuisine,
and occupations were identified. In addition, art allowed us to see their religious
beliefs as well as some myths. It is important to note that one of the most impressive
forms of art developed by Egyptians was their system of hieroglyphs. This
system soon became their writing system, in which pictures and symbols
represent various sounds and words. This system itself is made up of more
than 700 symbols.
This is very interesting. Do you think this is another for of graffiti but in an earlier age? This makes me think of graffiti by the use bright colors also by being able to do graffiti anywhere they please to. I also found that the hieroglyphic system is made up of 700 symbols is very interesting since we only have 26 letters. How do the Egyptians tell all the letters apart from each other and know what they mean?
